My 9 and 10 year olds are going to butlins in the summer with their father. My 15 year old was also meant to go . But shes not now.
So instead Im thinking to go on a forest holiday in Norfolk it would be me her and my adult son.

Just woundering if others have been what's it like ? Any recommendations or ideas .

I think it would depend on what she enjoys doing? Are there things to do nearby?

They’re nice lodges but there’s not a lot to do on site so you need to make your own entertainment. If you want activities on tap then I’d look at centre parcs instead.

Dd isn't the sort of person to join in things like that. I think she may like a walk in the woods . Bike ride. Maybe some type of water activity. We want a relaxing break but also not boring we are only there for 3 full days really .

@LostTooManyScrews i don’t know if any have bike
hire or water sports on site. The one at Sherwood pines has bikes in the adjacent forest. They can be quite off the beaten track if you want to go offsite.

Centre Parcs and you can do a spa day too?
